Insights: News Justin Krieger Quoted by The Denver Post and The Colorado Sun
Denver Managing Partner Justin Krieger was quoted by The Denver Post and The Colorado Sun about the USPTO's decision to close The Rocky Mountain Regional Outreach Office in Denver.
The Denver Post:
“It is a loss to innovators in the Rocky Mountain region who really shouldn’t have to buy plane tickets to Virginia to have a seat at the table,” said Justin Krieger, a managing partner with the Denver office of the law firm Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton. “I hold out hope they will reconsider it after people have spoken up.”
"Krieger said there’s value in a local office that goes beyond direct dollars. It helps his students at the University of Denver law school, where he teaches a course on patent office litigation. Inside the Denver patent office, there are special rooms to listen and watch hearings by the Patent Trials and Appeals Board judges, or PTAB.
“On the last day of class, I bring the students, or at least I did, to the regional office on a field trip. They get to meet the regional director. They get to meet some PTAB judges and interview them and ask them questions,” Krieger said. “It’s just a tremendously great resource for local students to get that kind of insight that they wouldn’t get without a regional office.'”
